This asana enhances flexibility and strengthens muscles around the spinal column. The asana is a ‘guard’ against constipation and back pain. Adrenal gland, liver, and kidney are most benefited.
How to do Bhujangasana?
Lie down flat on your abdomen, in the relaxation posture. Cross your hands in front of you so you can place your head on them.
Slowly bring your legs close together. Place your forehead on the floor.
Move your arms so that they are folded at the elbow and your palms are close to your shoulders.
Raise your elbows off the floor slightly. Inhale. Raise your forehead with your chin pushed out.
Raise your torso from the ground.
Ensure that your abdomen remains pressed to the floor.
Reflect on the movement of a snake raising its hood and gradually feel the stretch of your spine. Maintain posture.
Unwind slowly till your body is back flat against the floor. Keep your head lifted till your torso completely unrolls.
